• Lead large, ambiguous product initiatives spanning multiple teams, customer journeys and business priorities.
• Connect design decisions to measurable customer and business outcomes.
• Build partnerships with Product, Engineering, Insights and leadership to inform product direction.
• Use evidence-based design, research, analytics and experimentation to guide product decisions.
• Raise quality across interaction design, visual design, accessibility, systems thinking and execution.
• Establish and improve AI-assisted design workflows, grounded in customer insight, accessibility and design-system guidance.
• Coach and mentor designers through feedback, pairing, design critiques and responsible AI practices.

Required profile

• Extensive experience shaping complex digital experiences in cross-functional environments.
• Strong portfolio showing craft, product thinking, systems thinking, measurable impact and design leadership.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead cross-functional initiatives without formal authority.
• Experience coaching designers and raising design quality beyond individual projects.

Required skills

• User-centered design, information architecture, interaction and visual design, prototyping, design systems and product strategy.
• Qualitative research, quantitative data and experimentation.
• Working familiarity with front-end concepts (React Native, JavaScript or TypeScript, component-based UI, layout systems, native mobile constraints) is beneficial but not required.

What we offer

• A package including salary, bonus, pension, private healthcare, share save scheme, flexible working and holiday policy.
